I haven't spoken to directly to H since Friday. And even then it was just to ask if I could take the kids to church with me on Sunday. He said no, reasoning that his folks will be in town for a short time on Sunday and wanted to see the kids. I said okay.

His parents did stop by to see me for a few minutes on their way through town. Brought a couple of Christmas gifts for me. It was a nice gesture on their part. Although I have to admit, it was all rather awkward.

So I have been thinking about this for awhile now and am not quite sure what to do. Any and all opinions and advice are welcome. In past years, we (H and I) would gather the kids around the Christmas tree and take a pic for our Christmas greeting cards. It has always been just a pic of the kids and dog and usually signed as the (insert last name hear)'s. So what do I do this year?

a) Do not send any cards out this year.
b) Send a greeting card with a pic of the kids.
c) Send a greeting card with a pic of me and the kids.

If I send out the cards, how should the cards be signed? Same as last year?

In the past, we would send out the cards to his friends, my friends, mutual friends, his family, and my family. Who should I send them to this year?

Should I tell H that I am doing this before I mail them out?
